Observation details
Perhaps two of these could be first year White-wing Scoter (which would be a life bird for me). The third bird, however, appeared to have white feathers developing on the nape of the neck (Surf Scoter). The other two display a significant variation of white on the head and face. With no white visible on the folded wing and with some weight given to their association with the individual described above, I presumed them to also be Surf Scoter, knowing that 1st year White-winged Scoter also display a very similar facial pattern. If anyone knows the two species enough to change my ID of the two to White-winged Scoter, I'd be thrilled and would welcome the correction.
